    She only wants you for your references.

    For the price of a latte. That makes you a cheap date.

        Can you <cough> PM me her details, together with the skillset she recruits for. It's not that difficult to knock up a false-skill CV ==> a hot date

          This morning I told her about my offer and acceptance.
          While she appreciates I called her, she feels betrayed I told her nothing else on the go and worried about egg on her face with two firms.
          She will learn bless her – she even invited me over for a coffee…… She is half my age.
          So you lied to her and now she's upset? I think a modicum of remorse is in order - treat them as you think is right, not as they treat you.

              Why remorse? Business is business. On the other hand, if she wants a hot date with Wilmslow, then she should jump all over him. Whats personal is personal.

                1)Business doesn't involve lying in my view
                2)Bushiness is done between people, and involves relationships every step of the way

                  Wilmslow did not lie.

                  If business involves relationships then agents have alot to learn.

                    Why say no when asked if yyou have anything else on? I tend to say yes, but explain I'd rather not mention a client by name if asked. That way I don't come off looking like a lying twat. Like you.

                      She is an Agent not a cleaner.
                      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
